Author discussion panels covering a variety of topics, RSVP lunch with authors at area restaurants and author book signing sessions are just a few of the festival’s highlights.

The Dahlonega Literary Festival, begun in 2004, celebrates books, writers, literacy, storytelling and literary performance art. This is an intimate festival about books and authors with a mission to promote interaction between readers and writers in a relaxed, informal environment. The organization is a 501(c)3 non-profit.

Festival events will occur in various locations around the historic square of downtown Dahlonega, and all activities are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
